Melba House at MarianMelba House was the Marian Mill manager's house until a new one was built in the late 1920s. It was moved next door to the new residence where it was occupied by the Chief Engineer. It has now been moved to a location on the outskirts of Marian, overlooking the Pioneer River, where it operates as a visitor information centre.

Thelma is not enrolled at Marian SS until 1920 when she is 7. The name is spelt as O'Neil with one L.

Neville said that 19 Acacia Avenue was completely cut out at Marian Mill in 1941 and was taken by train/loco to Kings at the foot of Mt Jukes and the Kings took it by truck to Seaforth. Dad, Pop, Wacky Lang & others helped to put the shell up over a couple of weekends. The blocks for the house were already up.

In April 1922 Thelma stayed with the McClures in Walla St, Bundaberg. In the 1936 electoral roll are:
